The distribution of resources was inextricably linked to strength.
When the Mercer Family's strength couldn't match others', their share of resources was bound to shrink. This created a vicious cycle, ensuring each generation would be weaker than the last!
Every time he considered this, Zachary Mercer felt a deep, sincere anxiety.
But today, at this very moment, Paige Summers's words had brought him a glimmer of hope!
'Since Finn went so far as to ask to become his disciple, the man's Cultivation Technique must be compatible with our family's. It's highly likely it could enable me to enter the Innate Realm!'
How could he not be thrilled at the thought!
He was excited, yes, but he quickly realized another issue.
"Since this man is so extraordinary, I doubt he would accept Finn. After all, Finn is a child of the Mercer Family and already has his own lineage and training."
Paige Summers nodded. "That's true."
Zachary Mercer's heart sank.
